LIC Fortune Plus Plan

Thinking about the future of your child is a great way to plan your investment decisions. Although LIC has withdrawn a few plans, some like LIC Fortune Plus were great harbingers of security for the child. Owing to newer plans being introduced into the market, LIC of India decided to discontinue this plan in 2010. This unit term plan gave definite returns at the end of the policy term to the policyholder or his child.

Benefits of LIC Fortune Plus Plan

There are different benefits offered by the LIC Fortune Plus Plan by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The core benefits offered under this plan are as follows:

Maturity Benefit: If the policyholder of LIC Fortune Plus survives the policy tenure, he receives a lump-sum amount of money that equals the basic sum assured. The maximum sum assured under this plan is 5 times the single premium if the age at entry is 35 years, 2.5 times the Single premium if the age at entry is between 36 – 45 years, and 1.25 times the premium if the age at entry is above 46 years. For a regular payment plan, the maximum sum assured is 25 times the annualized premium if the age at entry is up to 45 years and 15 times the annualized entry if the age at entry is 46 years and above.
Surrender Benefit: The LIC Fortune Plus Plan refunds the surrender value. However, the payment is not made before 3 years of the policy tenure. The policy fund attains surrender value upon completing two years of premium payment under the regular payment plan. The corporation will not entertain any other claim towards surrender of a policy.
Death Benefit: Upon the policyholder's death, the nominee who is the child of the life assured is exempted from payment of further premiums or instalments. The LIC Fortune Plus policy is valid. Upon maturity, the lump-sum amount is equal to the sum assured amount. This life cover is beneficial to the policyholder's family and comes as a savior in times of distress as hard as losing a loved one.
Partial Withdrawals: The policyholder can make partial withdrawals if the policy fund has a minimum balance of two annualized premiums in it. Partial withdrawals can be made after the first two years of premium payment have been completed on time.
Tax Benefits: Standard income tax benefits* can be availed of the benefits received from this plan.
